Yes, the first few grocery store trips are long, because you spend a lot of time reading labels, and a bit expensive, because you are buying so much to replace the stuff you threw away. But, it's worth it, and after the second-third week it's better.
Try to use Trader Joe's if you can for things like organic ketchup, low sugar spaghetti and pizza sauce, and a lot of items - their prices are much lower than other stores as they have house brands of these things.
Check out the grocery list sticky at the top of the forum for more ideas.
